1. C-Span.... I Ordered Their Video Already. It's Supposed To Be Almost |
|
eight hours of coverage. Don't know if they will include concert, that would be super... but if not I hope HBO makes one.
I just checked the HBO site but all it says is that it will be shown again at 9:30 PM today!

3. I was wondering about them. |
|
Not that their commentators don't have their biases but I watched CSPAN during the Denver convention and was pleased.

6. I would check iTunes in a few weeks. |
|
They had the whole democratic convention posted for free. I still have Obama's and Hillary's speech. I bet they will offer the whole inauguration.

2. CSPAN1 definetely. MSNBC will be second best, but CSPAN will |
|
show all the speakers and whatnot. I prefer the live feeling even during times between speakers when there is little more than crowd noise, rather than the constant yammering on the other channels.

5. Well MSNBC will suck because it won't be in HD. |
|
The network channels are always good (NBC, ABC, CBS).
So I'll probably watch local or CNN.

11. Well for me, watching non-HD channels on an HD TV sucks. |
|
Seriously, it's all pixilated and choppy.
So I pretty much have to watch HD channels to enjoy it in its full.
MSNBC really dropped the ball here. First they don't have HD for the election season and now for the inauguration. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

16. What Setting Do You Use? |
|
With the bars on the side the non-HD are at least watchable.

15. We have to be grateful to Keith and give him (MSNBC) the |
|
ratings.. Not one single channel was speaking against the BUSH regime until 2005 with MSNBC gambling everything they had with Keith... and later Tweety...

18. on cable its CNN, they completely outclassed MSNBC |
|
on the election day coverage. From that track record, I'll be watching CNN. I'll check back to MSNBC to hear what KO, Maddow and Tweety (if he is playing good cop that day) have to say, but it'll be mostly CNN.
